When you look closer nothing goes away: it changes see, like night becomes the day…and day the night, but even that’s not true…it’s really all about your point of view…depending on where you are standing on the earth, and in the end…it isn’t simply worth your while cleaning your life away…you can’t…everything you do or say is there forever…it leaves evidence, in fact, it’s really only common sense. There is no such thing as nothing not at all…it may be really very very small, but it's still there…in fact, I think I guess that no does not exist there’s only Yes.
